Hi,

I just had a report from a gnome maintainer in Debian about that. It seems
that, when an app ship a .desktop file containing a command using pkexec (for
example gnome-system-log which has: Exec=pkexec gnome-system-log), the app
won't run (either from panel menu or from desktop menu) and .xsession-errors
has:

Refusing to render service to dead parents.

Few pointers:
